I'm looking for leads and or suggestions on where I might get some
dies made from hardened and ground steel. Think sheet metal bead
roller dies, only about 3 inches long. I've never had anything like
this made before and thought this might be a good place to start
looking. The resulting tool will be aircraft related :-)

I've had good luck with mfgquote.com. Put up an RFQ and someone will
bite.

Thanks, Bob K.
